A Day of Learning: Sports and Nutrition with Aya Miyama

Plenus Co., Ltd. has announced a fantastic opportunity for families to engage in a unique educational program centered around sports and nutrition. Scheduled for May 16th at IKUSA ARENA in Tokyo, this free event is designed for elementary school children in grades 1 and 2, accompanied by their parents.

The Vision of Plenus

Plenus, based in Chuo, Tokyo, operates numerous restaurant chains including "Hotto Motto," a takeout bento shop, and "Yayoiken," a traditional dining restaurant. The company prides itself on supporting the sports community through food, actively promoting local sporting events and fostering regional sports culture.

Event Overview

The event, titled "Learn about Sports and Nutrition with Aya Miyama!", aims to encourage children to understand the importance of nutrition in sports. Aya Miyama, a retired professional soccer player and the former captain of Japan's women's national team, will lead participants through a series of interactive activities and programs.

Sports Program

During the event, families will partake in a physically engaging program led by Aya Miyama. Participants will learn how to handle a ball using their hands and bodies, all while enjoying moving around together. This segment is designed to instill a sense of joy around physical activity, encouraging parents to cheer for their little ones as they explore these movements.

Nutrition Education

An essential part of the program focuses on nutrition and its relationship to physical activity. Attendees will engage in a fun quiz to identify which nutritional group (red, yellow, or green) their regular meals belong to, highlighting the importance of balanced eating habits.

Culinary Experience

Post-activity, families will be treated to a delightful meal of "Hotto Motto" bento boxes made with carefully selected ingredients. Each family will also receive a special gift of premium Kinmemai rice, commonly used in "Hotto Motto" bento, to enjoy at home. This experience aims to solidify the understanding of good nutrition in a delicious and enjoyable way.
